About 2000 people killed by Islamic State since the establishment of “Caliphate”

SOHR could document death of 1878 executed by Islamic State since the declaration of “Caliphate” in Syria in 6/28/2014 until yesterday 12/27/2014.

 

The death toll is as follows:

 

1175 civilians, including 4 children and 8 women. They were executed by beheading, shooting or stoning in the provinces of Deir Ezzor, al- Raqqa, al- Hasakah, Aleppo, Homs and Hama. 930 out of 1175 are from al- Shaitaat tribe in the eastern countryside of Deir Ezzor.

 

81 fighters of the Nusra Front, rebel and Islamic battalions. IS executed them after arresting them either in clashes between the mentioned battalions and IS or on IS- checkpoint.

 

Islamic State also executed 120 of its own members for “exceeding the limits in religion”; most of them executed after arresting them during their attempt to come back home.

 

502 officers and soldiers of the regime forces. They were arrested during clashes between IS and the regime forces.

 

We in SOHR believe that the real number of people that had been killed by IS is higher than the number documented by SOHR because there are hundreds of missing and detainees inside the IS jails, loss of communication with about a thousand men of al- Shaitaat tribe as well as because there are dozens of Kurds who have still been missing since the beginning of IS attack on the countryside of Ayn al- Arab “Kobani” in September 16.
